I love his work â€“ the playfulness and (seeming) ease of his style, the way he is teasing and caressing language (I am mainly thinking of his non-dada writings).

Have you ever translated poetry, Ken_Russell?

For Berlin I want to name Helmut Newton and Walter Gropius.

Thanks for asking- though being a translator indeed and also having translated some fiction, artistic, literary texts in the past, never translated poetry so far (except for the occasional lyric/poetic etc. inserts, quotes, references in fictional or non-fictional texts). Would like however to become more skilled in translating poetry, as well as other literary genres.

Indeed, I find it fascinating how diverse and wonderfully cosmopolitan this community is- so many different backgrounds with so many interesting stories to tell.

from my home town near Heidelberg, which is called Sinsheim, there's in recent times Dietmar Hopp, Co-founder of software-firm SAP. Not my cup of tea but VERY rich & quite a social guy who puts much money in health-research, wellfare & sports and made the football-club 1899 Hoffenheim famous (German Bundesliga). :-)

I don't know if he lives here or not, but when I was in college and worked at a store in the local mall, I once sold David Spade some socks. Sandra Day O'Connor lives here, and I recently saw Ice T and Coco at the grocery store down the street from me. I think they have a house close by. What a random bunch of celebrities!
